Rosemary outdoors for the winter?

Greetings...
I live in northeastern Pennsylvania. I've had a rosemary plant now for many years, given as a gift. I've been digging it up year after year, brought in for the winter. It does very well in my garage with morning sun and cool temperatures. My question is, it's getting too big, about 3 feet high and wide. I'd really like to leave it outdoors this winter. My thought was to mulch heavy, and put some burlap around the bottom. It's a few feet from the house, protected by a deck. I really hate to lose it, but even with cutting it back it's too large to be brought inside. Has anyone had success with leaving outdoors in the winter, any tips would be greatly appreciated. This plant is around 20 years old.

Hello Kelly. Ken here with The Home Depot in the Chicago area.
I know about cold too. I’m not so sure that your rosemary is going
to survive this winter. Most rosemary are hardy down to 0*F at best,
“Arp” to -10*F. The best you can do is mulch well and protect from
winter winds by wrapping in plastic sheeting. Leave the top open.
Next spring, take some cuttings for backup. Good luck and let me
know what happens. Take care.

Hi Ken, thanks for taking the time to reply. So far it's surviving and it's been in the low teens a few times, but we have a few months of cold to go. I have about 15 inches of mulch around the base packed in tight. It's next to a wall and deck. I'll let you know in the spring! Good thinking on taking cuttings, I'll do that tomorrow!
Cheers!
Kelly
